Its combination of disposable microfluidic cassettes, exceptionally low dead volume, and broad dispensing range cannot be replicated by any other commercially available instrument.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. It’s a synopsis for informational purposes only. However, any responsible source that believes it can meet this requirement may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency.

Responses must include:
1. Company Name and CAGE Code.

2. Technical description of how the proposed alternative meets all requirements listed above.

Responses will be used to determine if a competitive procurement is necessary, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
